SUP 10.7 Required functions

Apportionment and oversight function (CF8)

SUP 10.7.1R

The apportionment and oversight function is the function of acting in the capacity of a director or senior manager responsible for either or both of the apportionment function and the oversight function set out in SYSC 2.1.3 R.

SUP 10.7.2G

SUP 10.7.2AG

11In requiring someone to apportion responsibility, a common platform firm should not apply for that person or persons to be approved to perform the apportionment and oversight function (see SUP 10.7.1 R, SYSC 2.1.3 R and SYSC 1.1.3 R (5)).

SUP 10.7.3G

The fact that there is a person performing the apportionment and oversight function, and who has responsibility for activities subject to regulation by the FSA, may have a bearing on whether a manager who is based overseas will be performing a controlled function. It is a factor to take into account when assessing the likely influence of the overseas manager.

SUP 10.7.4G

Generally, in relation to a UK establishment of an overseas firm or a firm which is part of an overseas group, where an overseas manager's responsibilities in relation to the United Kingdom are strategic only, he will not need to be an approved person. However, where, in accordance with SYSC 3 or SYSC 4 to SYSC 1012, he is responsible for implementing that strategy in the United Kingdom, and has not delegated that responsibility to a senior manager in the United Kingdom, he is likely to be performing a controlled function, such as, for example, the chief executive function. This is subject to SUP 10.1.13A R, which applies where the firm is a MiFID investment firm and the only regulated activities carried out by it in the United Kingdom are MiFID business.12

SUP 10.7.4AG

4912A firm carrying on insurance mediation activity13, other than a sole trader, must allocate to a director or senior manager the responsibility for the firm's insurance mediation activity (MIPRU 2.2.1 R)13.912 MIPRU 2.2.2 R (2)912 provides that the firm may allocate this responsibility to the person performing the apportionment and oversight function.

13
SUP 10.7.4BG

4Where the person performing the apportionment and oversight function is also responsible for the firm's insurance mediation activity, the words "(insurance mediation)" will be inserted after this controlled function (see 912MIPRU 2.2.5 G912).

EEA investment business oversight function (CF9)

SUP 10.7.6R

The EEA investment business oversight function is the function of acting in the capacity of an individual who is responsible, in accordance withSYSC 2.1.3 R (2), for overseeing the establishment and maintenance of systems and controls in relation to designated investment business carried on from a branch in the United Kingdom of an incoming EEA firm.

SUP 10.7.7G

Where an overseas individual has not delegated this function to a senior manager in the United Kingdom, he is likely to be performing this controlled function. However, the FSA anticipates that any individual carrying out this function will normally be located in the United Kingdom. He may be the local chief executive or one or more of the individuals approved to perform the significant management (designated investment business) function. If the local chief executive (or other individual) is approved for this function, this does not mean that all his responsibilities are the concern of the FSA. SUP 10.1.9 R preserves the principle of Home State prudential regulation whenever it applies and in respect of each controlled function.1

Compliance oversight function (CF10)

SUP 10.7.8R

The compliance oversight function is the function of acting in the capacity of a director or senior manager who is allocated the function set out in SYSC 3.2.8 R or SYSC 6.1.4 R (2)12.
